policy
makers to find a set of efficient and sustainable policies to integrate
RES-E with other EU-related objectives, such as energy efficiency andclimate change abatement over time;

-

various
stakeholders to derive an economically efficient portfolio strategy in a
liberalised electricity market under the constraints of RES-E
development and GHG reduction.

They include e.g.:

-

advice on policy
proposals on EU level to reach the
goals for 2010 given by the White Paper
on RES(European Commission, 1997) - i.e. 12%
share of RES on total Communities energy consumption - and the RES-E Directive(European Union, 2001) - i.e. 22.1%
share of RES-E;

-

to demonstrate the
consequences of a non-harmonised approach (starting in individual
countries) versus a harmonised approach (starting with a harmonised policy
on an EU-wide level, e.g. a quota system).

The toolbox Green-X
can be used by those who wish to identify most important strategies for the
promotion of RES-E in a dynamic context.

-

It assists
policy makers to find efficient and effective strategies for improving
RES-E generation and to assess the impact of the strategy regarding
RES-E deployment, costs and benefits for society;

-

It helps investors to assess
the available potential, market prices and trends;

-

It allows stakeholders to derive
economically efficient portfolios in liberalised electricity markets
under the constraints of RES-E development and GHG reduction.

>> Green-X
viewer:

The Green-X
viewer represents the web-based database for the toolbox Green-X. It provides the opportunity
to gain insights on the background
data regarding potentials & costs for RES-E in EU-15 countries of the
toolbox Green-X
is presented in the following. In addition, the scenarios on the future
development (up to 2020) of RES-E in EU-15 countries are presented.

The toolbox Green-X:This paper provides a summary of
the developed computer-model and its database - representing a tool for
comparative and quantitative analysis of interactions between RES-E, CHP, DSM
activities and GHG-reduction within the liberalised electricity sector both
for the EU as a whole and individual Member States over time by simulating
different scenarios. It clearly describes structure and elements,
functionality, required inputs, delivered outputs, etc.

Mid-term Workshop proceedings:All proceedings from the international
mid-term workshop which took place on the 23rd of September 2003 at
EREC's 'Renewable Energy House' in Brussels are available now!

Dynamic cost-resource curves:This report represents the initial outcome of the
data collection undertaken within WP 1. It summarises the general methodology
applied for the derivation of dynamic cost-resource curves (for RES-E,
conventional electricity and DSM) and describes the core elements of the
database used in the toolbox Green-X
